FiveThirtyEight’s Harry Enten issued words of caution to the media and general public over the special election run-off between Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Karen Handel. He pointed out that the polling was solid, for once, and that both the early voting and potential impact on 2018 midterms were not very clear (contrary to current liberal media narratives and the Democratic Party talking points).

In short, two special elections in 2017 are not good predictors of 2018 midterm elections, which Enten said that the House of Representatives could become majority Democrat IF current conditions held constant for the next year. Enten said that this would be a big ‘IF.’
